I did some checking today, and found that only a tiny trickle of the Fujifilm GF 30mm f/5.6 TS and Fujifilm GF 110mm f/5.6 TS are coming in each month at B&H Photo.
It is much better to review them together, but I might have to do one at a time. Getting even one of them is tough, the 30mm being as rare as hen’s teeth, so if you want either/both, grab one anywhere you can find it.
Maybe if I can do only one at a time I will do so when June hits, but I hold out some hope for both, and hitting the Eastern Sierra around that time.
It seems odd for Fujifilm to deliver these lenses so slowly. Last fall they were delayed, and then production has been at a slow trickle for 6 months.
Maybe there is some kind of production problem or quality control issue?
As I understand it, the Fujifilm GFX100 II sensor has been optimized to perform better than the Fujifilm GFX100S and others, via a new microlens design that is more friendly to a steeper ray angle that occurs with such lenses. Something like that.
